The Lennard-Jones (LJ) Potential Energy Problem is to construct the most stable form of $N$ atoms of a molecule with the minimal LJ potential energy. This problem has a simple mathematical form $f(x) = 4\sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{j=1,j<i}^N…
In a recent article, Wang et al (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 22, 10624 (2020)) introduced a new class of interparticle potential for molecular simulations. The potential is defined by a single range parameter, eliminating the need to decide…
The Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential is a cornerstone of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and among the most widely used computational kernels in science. The potential models atomistic attraction and repulsion with century old prescribed…
We propose and test a pair potential that is accurate at all relevant distances and simple enough for use in large-scale computer simulations. A combination of the Rydberg potential from spectroscopy and the London inverse-sixth-power…
The aim of this paper is to present an analytical calculation of the chemical potential of a Lennard Jones fluid. The integration range is divided into two regions. In the small distance region,which is $r\leq\sigma$ in the usual…
The Lennard-Jones (LJ) spline potential is a truncated LJ potential such that both the pair potential and the force continuously approach zero at $r_c \approx 1.74{\sigma}$. We present a systematic map of the thermodynamic properties of the…
A compact analytical form is derived via an integration approach for the interaction between a sphere and a thin rod of both finite and infinite lengths, with each object treated as a continuous medium of materials points interacting by the…
It is well-known that any Lennard-Jones type potential energy must have a periodic ground state given by a triangular lattice in dimension 2. In this paper, we describe a computer-assisted method that rigorously shows such global minimality…
In the current work we revisit the pair-potential recently proposed by Wang et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 10624, 22, 2020) as a well defined finite-range alternative to the widely used Lennard-Jones interaction model. The advantage of…
An analytical form has been derived using Ostrogradski's integration method for the interaction between two thin rods of finite lengths in arbitrary relative configurations in a 3-dimensional space, each treated as a line of material points…
The optimal conversion of a continuous inter-particle potential to a discrete equivalent is considered here. Existing and novel algorithms are evaluated to determine the best technique for creating accurate discrete forms using the minimum…
The phase diagram of the prototypical two-dimensional Lennard-Jones system, while extensively investigated, is still debated. In particular, there are controversial results in the literature as concern the existence of the hexatic phase and…
The Lennard-Jones potential is perhaps one of the most widely-used models for the interaction of uncharged particles, such as noble gas solids. The phase diagram of the classical LJ solid is known to exhibit transitions between hcp and fcc…
The potential energy landscape in the Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones binary mixture model has been studied carefully from liquid down to the supercooled regime, from T =2 down to T =0.46. One thousand of independent configurations along the…
We revisit two old and apparently little known papers by Basuev [2] [3] and show that the results contained there yield strong improvements on current lower bounds of the convergence radius of the Mayer series for continuous particle…
In this paper we study a particle under the influence of a Lennard-Jones potential moving in a simple quantum wire modelled by the positive half-line. Despite its physical significance, this potential is only rarely studied in the…
The simplified Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential minimization problem is $f(x)=4\sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{j=1,j<i}^N (\frac{1}{\tau_{ij}^6} -\frac{1}{\tau_{ij}^3}) {subject to} x\in \mathbb{R}^n,$ where $\tau_{ij}=(x_{3i-2}-x_{3j-2})^2…
Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluids serve as an important theoretical framework for understanding molecular interactions. Binary LJ fluids, where two distinct species of particles interact based on the LJ potential, exhibit rich phase behavior and…
To meet burning needs of high-resolution pressure-induced line-shape parameters in the UV/visible regions for hot-temperature industrial and atmospheric applications as well as current and future space missions, phase-shift theory is…
This paper investigates the relation between the density-scaling exponent $\gamma$ and the virial potential-energy correlation coefficient $R$ at several thermodynamic state points in three dimensions for the generalized $(2n,n)$…
